Justice for Children and Youth

Justice for Children and Youth (JFCY) is a legal aid clinic that helps children and teenagers who have complex legal and personal issues. We provide legal assistance to vulnerable clients in many areas of law – including education, victimization, human rights, health, mental health, youth criminal justice, and child protection. We represent children and youth who have slipped through the cracks. Our cases are complex and heart breaking. Often, our clients have nowhere else to turn – they require expert assistance to find legal solutions, make connections to find other community supports, care for trauma, and help them find security.
